Portuguese Evening - Wine Tasting

Last night saw the start of our first Portuguese Evening. The idea behind these evenings is to give our guest the experience of a typical Portuguese meal followed by a Portuguese wine tasting. Last night we served Cataplana -a mixed dish of various seafood. Eddie made also a meat version which was enjoyed as well.

Below is a picture of young Bob you amazed all by wearing his "Cool" shirt.

Sorry Bob, but you did enjoy the red wine!

We selected 3 white wines and 2 reds as well as a Port. Personally I was very pleased with the wine selection as it clearly demonstrated the wonderful selection of Portuguese wines on offer. The average rating on the evening of the various wines was in the top 70%. Going forward we will start to stock the wine we use in the tasting as they clearly were a hit.

Towards the end of the evening we brought out a red wine we are planning to use in our own label and again, pleasantly surprised with how well it was received!

We wil be having these evening every Monday from now on until end of August, so please let us know if you wish to join us as we plan to have only 20 guests at a time!
